Relay Worker in our North East region.
Ruth is doing Relay in Durham, supporting the Christian Union in Durham University.
Relay is a ten-month discipleship, training and mission programme run by UCCF, a charity which aims to give every student in Great Britain an opportunity to hear and respond to the good news about Jesus Christ.
Relay Workers equip, resource and encourage student Christian Unions whilst being discipled and trained by a member of UCCF staff.
Ruth says...
Hi friends!
After spending three years studying maths in Durham, I can't wait to be sticking around for Relay! I have loved being part of Durham Inter-Collegiate Christian Union (DICCU) and am so excited to be able to devote more time to supporting their work in giving every student in Durham the chance to hear and respond to the gospel of Jesus.
Alongside supporting DICCU, I will be spending time in the study of God's word, as well as receiving incredible discipleship training from UCCF. I am most excited for the incredible evangelistic opportunity that Relay will provide, and I can't wait to see how God works in Durham as His people seek to make him known.
I would love for you to join with me as I partner with God in His mission! Please do consider whether you are able to support me in prayer or financially - I will be unable to do anything without God at work!
Pray for Ruth
Prayer is a vital part of supporting Ruth’s work with Christian Unions. Here are some prayer points from Ruth:
- Please pray that I will be looking forward to next year without worry, resting in the knowledge that, though I am weak, God is strong.
- Please thank God for the opportunities online evangelism has provided this year, and for how so many CU members have been bringing their friends along to church and events!
- Please pray for Durham CU, that they would continue to boldly and joyfully proclaim the Gospel in Durham, and that many would come to salvation.
Partner with Ruth
It costs on average £8,000–12,000 to cover the living and ministry expenses of a Relay Worker.
Having a team of people who partner financially and in prayer with Relay Workers means that they can:
- Encourage CU students in their faith in the Lord Jesus.
- Give biblically-grounded answers to students exploring Christianity.
- Support CUs as they seek to give every student the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel.
